Hi Shawn, Q1: Will it hurt the MacBook? Not necessarily. You will kill your battery much quicker and I'm not sure that it is really a good idea. You could set it to go to Sleep slower if you wish. That is, instead of going to Sleep within ten minutes , you could set it to go to Sleep after 20 minutes.
Q2: Where do you set this up? In your System Preferences under the Energy Saver pane. You can set it separately for when the Power Adaptor is plugged in and separate times for the computer sleeping vs the display sleeping. I have my computer set to Never go to Sleep when plugged in but still have the Display sleeping after ten minutes. I would not suggest doing this in battery mode although it's your decision. You could uncheck the button for putting the HD to sleep when possible and this may give you faster wake response. HTH. Later... On 2011-04-18, at 6:47 PM, Shawn Krasniuk wrote: > Hey all.
